Olive oil hair treatment

We all use Olive oil in the home, but it isn’t just for cooking — it’s great for your hair, too! Olive oil has been proven to give hair a healthy sheen, help to repair split ends, and reduce frizz. This is why Olive oil can often be found as an active ingredient in hair shampoos

To give your hair a luxurious conditioning treatment, massage about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into your hair and scalp.You will need more for longer, thicker hair.

And remember to massage it in well (this will stimulate your scalp too) – the massaging feels really nice on your scalp, but is also important to the treatment, as massage stimulates helps promote a healthy scalp.

Next, take a warm, damp towel and wrap it around your head and treated hair like a turban. Leave it on for about 30-45 minutes. This allows the olive oil to deeply penetrate your hair shaft and work into your hair to have the full effect.

Finally, rinse out the olive oil with shampoo. This might take a few washes. Give your hair further rest by allowing it to dry naturally, without the use of a hairdryer, if you have the time. Then say hello to your luscious locks!
